HTTP tunneling

Re: HTTP tunneling

Hi Satish,

Tunneling means "whatever you supply at the beginning of the tunnel gets
at the end of the tunnel" By http tunnelling it means that transfering the
http from one end to the other end. The simplest example could be that you
have a webserver (1) which is serving its client and you have another web
(http) server (2)somewhere inside the network (or anywhere) which serves
some specific request over http. Now when the front end webserver (1) gets
a request from the client and if these request needs to be executed at the
server 2 you configure the server 1 in such a way such that it just does
the tunneling to the 2 server. (Why?)It depends on what you what contents
server 1 has to serve and what content server 2 has to serve...

Hope this answers your question :-)
